Sunday Puzzle

Excelling at Chess Predictions

A different kind of puzzle this week.

Who, in 2001, wrote:-

"Anand, by the way, did not have a strong tournament, and it is quite well known that he is not a very patient person. In his youth he played very quickly, living only on his enormous talent. He never became the great player he could have been, and I predict he will not be"

The tone of this quote seemed very familiar, and I was qucickly able to locate it. I won't spoil it for everyone else, but for the record the quote continues "He is now the FIDE world champion, but Kramnik and Kasparov can both claim to be better players".
